Waiting

My biggest source of inspiration is always discovering the work of new artists that I love. Etsy is such a great place for this as there are constantly new shops popping up with more and more talent. I can easily spend a few hours just window shopping and so often discover new artists who inspire me to experiment with different techniques and styles within my own work. 


Here is a small abstract painting that I am working on right now which is a bit of a departure from my normal style! It is acrylic on board which I am then drawing into with pastel. This painting is part of my emotions series and is called "Waiting".

Greeting Cards

I have been away for a couple of weeks and been a bit slack with the old blogging so I have some catching up to do! We were on holiday in Arizona and Utah which is pretty inspiring when it comes to landscapes and colour. For now though I have to stick with all the projects I already have on the go such as creating a range of greeting cards. I think I am a little obsessed with cards, I love browsing through rows and rows of them and selecting just the perfect one for each person I need to send one to. I often buy them even if I don't even have someone to send it to just because I think its a great card. As a result I tend to have rather a large stash of them in our stationary draw. Anyway, I would love to design a range of cards and have started with a few little sketches to see what might work. When I get them finalised and work out all the logistics of printing etc they will be available in my Etsy shop and also at Jane Packer New York which is exciting!

Etsy shop open for business

A while ago a friend of mine suggested I look at etsy.com as a route to selling some of my artwork and I'm pleased to say I have finally got round to it. Having spent a little time exploring other people's etsy shops I have discovered some really amazing creations for sale and an incredibly creative community of people who are seemingly doing a good deal of business out there! I have so far listed 5 paintings in my "shop", one is this seascape below, to view the others please click here... Happy shopping!
